INDIAN CHEMISTRY: PHILOSOPHY OF ATOM BY ACHARYA KANAD
India's history of development of chemistry is a testament to the country's rich scientific and
intellectual traditions. Ancient Indian texts, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, dating back
thousands of years, contain references to chemical processes and the use of substances for various
purposes. These texts explored topics like metallurgy, organic compounds, and the properties of
different materials.
Acharya Kanad, an ancient Indian philosopher, proposed the concept of atoms (Anu) around 600
BCE. His work laid the foundation for atomic theory in India, contributing to the understanding of
matter and its fundamental particles. Some other philosophers and their contribution in the
development are as follows:
1. Nagarjuna: Explored metal purification and medicinal applications, advancing ancient Indian alchemy.
2. Acharya Charaka: Studied medicinal plants and minerals, contributing to Ayurveda through the
Charaka Samhita.
3. Acharya Sushruta: Documented chemical processes in surgery, including medicine preparation and
wound treatment.
4. Nagarjuna II: Made advances in metallurgy. developing techniques for metal extraction and
purification..
CHEMICAL BONDING
Formation of a chemical bond in terms of electrons was first successfully described by Kössel and Lewis
in 1916. They gave a logical explanation of valency which was based on the inertness (complete octet) of
noble gases. Define According to this theory, atoms can combine chemically either by transfer of valence
electrons from one atom to another or by sharing of valence electrons to complete an octet of the valence
shells. This is known as octet rule.
Lewis suggested that atoms achieve the stable octet (noble gas configuration) when they are associated by
a chemical bond.
Reason for chemical Bonding
• Atoms of all elements have a tendency to acquire stable electronic configuration of the nearest inert gas.
(Lewis octet rule)
• The atoms can acquire the stable electronic configuration of the nearest inert gas either by losing electron(s)
or by gaining electron(s)
• This tendency of atoms to complete and hence stabilize their outer most orbit of electrons. This is mainly
responsible for chemical combination between the atoms.
Example-1
Formation of NaCl : 11Na- 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1 17Cl- 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2,3p5
(ii) The elements which participate in ionic bonding usually form crystals.
(iii) The compounds formed by electrovalent (ionic) bonds, generally have high melting and boiling points.
(iv) The compounds formed by ionic bonding dissolve easily in water and liberate ions.
(v) Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are known as electrolyte solutions. These solutions are good
conductors of electricity.
Covalent Bond
Definition: A covalent bond is formed by mutual sharing of one or more electron pairs and the atoms thus achieve their
stability
Process of formation of covalent Bond
• The electrons for pair formation are contributed equally by the two constituent atoms and become their
common property.
• The covalent bond can connect similar atoms when both of them are short of a few electrons to achieve the
stable electronic configuration of nearest inert gas.
• Depending upon whether the electron pairs are shared equally between the constituent atoms or not, a
covalent bond may be non-polar or polar.
A covalent bond is a bond where two or more atoms share electrons. The sharing of atoms helps complete the
outer shell, or valence shell, of both atoms. For example, oxygen has six valence electrons. It can form a covalent
bond with two hydrogen atoms, each of which has one valence electron.
